Foldable rest support

Abstract

A foldable rest support including a frame has at least four sections articulated together about an axis to which is associated a bearing surface, two of the sections constituting the suspension arms. According to the disclosed embodiments, two other of the sections constituting the feet of the support, each foot having a truncated V shape, and the bearing surface links the sections constituting the suspension arms in order to at least partially cover at least one of the lateral faces of the foldable support.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A foldable rest support comprising:
 a frame including at least four sections articulated together about an axis to which is associated a bearing surface, 
 two of said sections constituting suspension arms, 
 two other of said sections constituting feet of said support, each foot having a truncated V shape, and in that 
 said bearing surface links said sections constituting the suspension arms in order to at least partially cover at least one of one or more lateral faces of said foldable support, 
 wherein said sections constituting the suspension arms are substantially U-shaped, each side branch of each U shaped section being connected to a base of said U shaped section by a curved section having an external curvature radius ranging between 15 and 45% of the greatest width I of said corresponding section. 
 
     
     
       2. A support according to  claim 1 , wherein said bearing surface is a fabric piece or a non-woven piece made in a flexible plastic material. 
     
     
       3. A support according to  claim 2 , wherein said fabric piece comprises at least a protecting layer laid out at least partially on an external surface of said piece, after printing of an advertisement or of information on the external piece, in order to protect the printed external surface from external aggressions. 
     
     
       4. A support according to  claim 1 , wherein said bearing surface is removable. 
     
     
       5. A support according to  claim 1 , comprising a strap connecting the ends of said sections, said strap including two portions ready to be coupled together by a connecting device so as to maintain the spacing between said sections when said support is unfolded. 
     
     
       6. A support according to  claim 5 , wherein said connecting device comprises a connecting device with engagement. 
     
     
       7. A support according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of said sections constituting the feet includes a removable fastener, said fastener ensuring the securing of a strap portion on said section, said strap portion being connected at one of its ends to the corresponding end of one of said sections constituting the suspension arms and including at its other end a coupling element intended to cooperate with a coupling element of another strap portion in order to secure said strap portions together. 
     
     
       8. A support according to  claim 1 , wherein said axis comprises a tube in which are inserted ends of said sections of the frame, said sections being articulated about the tube. 
     
     
       9. A support according to  claim 1 , comprising fixing means for a sun-shield element. 
     
     
       10. A foldable rest support comprising:
 a frame including at least four sections articulated together about an axis to which is associated a bearing surface, 
 two of said sections constituting suspension arms, 
 two other of said sections constituting feet of said support, each foot having a truncated V shape, and in that 
 said bearing surface links said sections constituting the suspension arms in order to at least partially cover at least one of one or more lateral faces of said foldable support, 
 wherein at least one of said sections constituting the feet includes a removable fastener, said fastener ensuring the securing of a strap portion on said section, said strap portion being connected at one of its ends to the corresponding end of one of said sections constituting the suspension arms and including at its other end a coupling element intended to cooperate with a coupling element of another strap portion in order to secure said strap portions together, 
 and wherein said fastener comprises a removable shoe secured at the truncated end of said section constituting a foot of said support. 
 
     
     
       11. A support according to  claim 10 , wherein said shoe includes a non-skid on the ground surface to prevent a possible slip of said sections constituting the feet on the ground. 
     
     
       12. A foldable rest support comprising:
 a frame including at least four sections articulated together about an axis to which is associated a bearing surface, 
 two of said sections constituting suspension arms, 
 two other of said sections constituting feet of said support, each foot having a truncated V shape, and in that 
 said bearing surface links said sections constituting the suspension arms in order to at least partially cover at least one of one or more lateral faces of said foldable support, 
 wherein at least one of said sections constituting the feet includes a removable fastener, said fastener ensuring the securing of a strap portion on said section, said strap portion being connected at one of its ends to the corresponding end of one of said sections constituting the suspension arms and including at its other end a coupling element intended to cooperate with a coupling element of another strap portion in order to secure said strap portions together, 
 and wherein said fastener includes a link and a blocking nut.
